Answer:

Answer 1

To solve the problems, let's convert the measurements to the desired units.

1. **Kaysia buys milk:**
- 1 quart = 4 cups
- ½ gallon = 2 quarts = 2 × 4 cups = 8 cups

Total cups of milk = 4 cups + 8 cups = 12 cups

**Answer:** Kaysia buys **12 cups** of milk.

2. **Calin's nuts:**
- 32 oz (almonds) = 32 oz
- 2 pounds (pecans) = 2 × 16 oz = 32 oz
- 64 oz (walnuts) = 64 oz

Total ounces = 32 oz + 32 oz + 64 oz = 128 oz

Now convert ounces to pounds:
- 128 oz = 128 ÷ 16 = 8 pounds

**Answer:** Calin has **8 pounds** of nuts.

3. **Cameron's walking distance:**
- 900 meters = 0.9 kilometers (since 1 kilometer = 1000 meters)
- 4 kilometers = 4 kilometers
- 3 kilometers = 3 kilometers

Total kilometers walked = 0.9 km + 4 km + 3 km = 7.9 kilometers

**Answer:** Cameron walked a total of **7.9 kilometers** over the weekend.
